In each of their past two meetings, Seattle University had chances in the final minutes to upset Washington only to watch their cross-town rivals pull away at the end.
On Tuesday night, the Redhawks stayed close until the eight final minutes when the Huskies used a 29-9 run to close the game and capture their 15th straight win in the series – an 81-59 victory at Alaska Airlines Arena.
Isaiah Stewart dominated with a season-high 27 points and 13 rebounds while Quade Green chipped in 20 points, including four three-pointers.
Seattle University countered with a 21-point assault from Terrell Brown and Morgan Means’ 12, but the undersized Redhawks had no answer inside for Stewart.
